I don't see why you can't, just as long as you take small bites and chew well. Its really an individual thing so you'll have to try it to know. Don't eat to many now and have FUN !!!!

Hey Guy, sounds like you do need a fill and there is no doubt you'll get back on track right after it. Now be a good boy and toss that ice cream

The bypass scares the crap out of me, at least with the band its reversable.... is my wl slower? yes, but I don't mind because slow IS healthy.... I don't want that sickly look of losing weight so fast and the skin not having a chance to snap back... but thats JMHO. You do what you feel is right for you... go with your what your heart says. Hugs.

Good Morning, PAT OH PAT.....get your boney arse in here !!!! pry yourself away from your work desk and come to the light..... don't make me come down there and smack you !!! WE ALL MISS YOU. DONNA OH DONNA.... ditto's....... we all miss you? did you fall off the planet? or are you enjoying your summer. Hurry back. I know the rest of the girls are busy so your lucky today, I won't single you out LOLOLOLOL, just get your butts in here soon, even if its to say boo (and boys...you know who you are). Its another crystal clear blue sky today... just beautiful. I have to go food shopping as soon as DH comes back from home depot (which is in about 1/2 hr).. I hate shopping with crowds of people...they have no manners and it drives me insane to have mom's let their kids run all over the place and lay in the isles or leave their carts right dab smack in the middle of the isles while they are on their cell phones.... GROWL WOOF WOOF! I really wanna bite them (see I'm not so nice lolol). Nothing else is planned for today.... pool, maybe some cleaning IF I come indoors lolol. I need a few mondays off so I can catch up on cleaning...that would be awesome but. Watcha all doing today? .

Darcy its good to see you, I was getting worried. Be gentle on your back okay......Hey chicken little, I know your struggling with your eating lately but hang in there, some times we just go through these awful slumps that last longer than we want but you'll make it threw. Hey I was thinking... could your depression be part of the eating culprit? I know for me 90% of my eating and weight gain is b/c of depression. I can do good during some of the summer... like a high but then poof.... the rest of the year I get depressed enough to start shoveling chit into my face and not really knowing why the hell I'm doing it. Also food is my drug of choice... no matter how I'm feeling, I run to food and don't know how not to :Banane27: Cindy I don't know if there's such a thing as reverse SAD, I mean I don't see why not. Depression affects people in so many different ways. I bet your dd is having a blast co-babysitting. I know my dd would love it ! Well its time for me to put on my PJ's I've had enuf sun today and Im pleasantly pooped lol. Y'all have a wonderful evening... I wish we could all sit together on a beautiful evening like this and share some coffee or tea and chat. Hugs and Kisses !!!

Oh Sam, big hugs and kisses from NJ... *cheers* heres to a speedy, gentle recovery. .

Good Morning Cindy I'm glad work went well, I thought the kids were already in school.... they must be dreading monday eh. I remember hating, I mean hating the start of a new year... I guess it was the fear of the unexpected, ya know. I'm still the same way.... nervous nellie... BTW, your such a sweetie. Darcy...... are you ok? come out come out where ever you are.... hopefully your back is better and your walking the pups :Banane27: Nothing much is going on today, I got the girls here (my other neice alexis) and my sisters will be here later to join in on the fun in the pool. The mornings here are crisp... like fall (ICK)... you can feel summer ending which is okay, I like fall but HATE the winter... I get SAD (seasonal depression) and winters are just way to long for me.... maybe this year it will be different with the wl.... maybe I"ll be able to enjoy moving outdoors.. *shrug* who knows. Anyway.... watcha all doing this weekend?

Congratulations and good luck with what ever you decide to do :Banane27:

WTG !!! Congratulations :Banane27:

Beanie I heard that NY got over 2" of rain and some folks got struck by lightening. 20 minutes from you where I live we got nothing, strange eh. How long did you have to wait at the airport?

One thing about the guys in the mongolian place...did you notice most of them were bald, between 45 - 55 and stuffy looking....not like our boys in the mexican place You my dear look fantastic and are prettier and prettier every time I see you. Kat its so good to hear DH is feeling better. Lookie at you losing all that weight.... you go girl.. but your right, make sure your not going to low or you'll get sick and you don't need that right now... how about some Protein drinks in the frig for a quick grabbie. Take care of yourself. Darcy love... are you feeling any better? I know for me, the 2nd or 3rd day of a back injury is usually the worst and then it gets better after that.... I hope your not like me. HUGS !!! Well I'm off to bed in a few minutes..... I'm pooped. I got my other neice here for the night and you know how kids can get. They are watching austin powers right now and laughing at fat bastard getting his ta ta's squeezed..... my DD goes mama, he's getting a nurple OY VEY!!! and thats with the naughty parts cut out LOLOL. My eating wasn't good but not to bad today... I really need to do better... oy! My fill is great, its just ME. TTYT.... love you all.

Poor dear, I really do feel your pain. Don't you dare take those doggies for a walk today... fix your back first will yah. Counting calories? whats that? LOL, I'm not "counting' but watching. With all my good intentions, I never seem to do it for very long. ooops! Mary, I'm so glad things are finally coming to an end and you can get on with life once again. My DBrother is going thru a nasty divorce and who suffers the most is his 3 kids... My heart breaks for him b/c he's always at my house these days crying. Hugs and kisss to you. The recipe is posted a few posts before yours... enjoy Dianne, yikes on the fleas !! how long is your mum staying for? Enjoy the pool.

Hi Lovies Kat I'm sorry your DH's family are asswipes and treating you like that but I'm proud of you for holding back for your DH's sake, last thing he needs is aggrivation right now (want me to roughen them up for yah? Beanie's here, we could come at them from both sides :guess ) YEAH DH, you go boy !! 4 blocks 3x a day... way to cool. Hang in there little mama things will get better. Sorry, no stain removal idea's here except maybe some baking soda or seltzer Water? Oh potty training *giggle* have fun. Hi Mary, its always good to see you. How are the kids? Cindy I'm proud of you for exercising, the smallest amount adds up in the end thats for sure, and I'm glad your day at work was better. I suspect it will be a challenging and emotional year for you, but you'll get thru it... God promised :Banane40: Darcy I don't blame you one bit for wanting a new home, I think its wonderful, a fresh start is always good for the soul... Susie Homemaker indeed!!! Do you think I am being perfect w/eating ??? NOT, I'm nibbling here and there but not going as crazy as I was. One snickers a week isn't going to hurt you... noticed I said ONE (well the truth is the truth as much as i hate it lolol). Oh.... cleaning IS exercise ya know Beanie glad you loved the play... I agree those seats are murder, try sitting in the very last row, the one thats on the freakin wall...

Good Morning Thank you for the Happy Birthday wishes I had an awesome NSV last night (no not sexual lol)... I tried on my wedding rings and THEY FIT!!! first time in over 5+ years.. whoot !! Made me feel guilty for eating all that cake (well not that guilty lol). Darcy don't sweat the gorge.... today's a new day and we CAN do this together. Today's my last pig-out day for a while (I hope bawwah). Tomorrow the chit hits the fan I want to lose 5 lbs this month. Cindy thank you love :-) Have a good day at work and ya know... YOU ROCK!!! Sherry love, get your arse to the doc and let us know whats shakin or shall I say rockin we love yah. food PORN WARNING !!! Okay spinach dip recipe but !!! it taste different if you don't use these brand name ingredience..so its important to get these if you can? Knorr's Veg Soup Mix (dry 1 pkg) 1 and 1/2 pts of Breakstones Sour Cream (24 oz total) 1 Cup Hellmans Mayo 1 Bunch of Scallions chopped up well 1 package of Birdseye Chopped Spinach (in the frozen section, maybe 8 oz... the small pkg) thawed, rinced and squeese the life out of it to drain the Water. Mix everything together and let sit in frig for a few hours so the dry soup mix soaks up the wet ingred. I server them with Garlic Bagel chips and people go nuts... its so easy peasy and so freakin fattening and good. There.... now don't blame me if you get hooked.... :nervous

Though this might be fun to name some of the crazy and not so crazy diets you've tried. Here's some of my own personal experiences with the diets I've tried: Ayds (the chocolate diet chews of the 70's... lordy they tasted good, ate the entire box in one sitting LOLOL...they didn't work either) The Grapefruit Diet (that makes me pucker just thinking about it) Scarsdale Diet (there we go with the grapefruit again .... ick) Susan Powter (eat carbs until you bust..... yep, thats what happened) Deal-A-Meal (Richard Simmons.... probably the only diet I liked and stuck to...it actually taught me portions) Weight Watchers (joined about 10 times....couldn't wait to get out of the meetings to hit burger king...but a safe and realistic diet nonetheless) NutriSystem (1994 prepacked doggie food eeeeeeeeeegads ick...hope they got better since then lol) Carbohydrate Addict Diet (2 meals almost no carbs but the third meal you could have a free for all.... and I did...but you had to eat that last carb meal w/in 1 hour... do you know how much junk I could stuff in w/in one hour LOL). Atkins (been there, done that, can't do it again 100%....love blue cheese) Fit America (pills that cost a ton of money, ate less carbs and the only thing I got out of it was less money in my bank account lol) Mediterrian Diet (healthy way to eat but you need lots of time to prepare the foods... I'd like to eat this way again) Phentermine (did good while on it but poof, watch it when you go off... not worth it imho) Meridia (pffffffffffffffffft.... had gas all day long and tummy pain...what was I thinking?) There are a few other ones I've tried from those infomercials...names escape me at the moment.

Oh gosh I forgot I went to a hypnotist .... ROFL, left the place and headed for burger king.
